No more excuses.
The business case for e-invoicing is significant. And most of us that have rolled out e-invoicing only know the half of it. Only a fraction of these companies have tapped into the savings beyond e-invoicing that come from supply chain financing.

Tuesday 3rd July 2012
Choose up to three Learning Labs from Morning Lab, Lunchtime Lab and Afternoon Lab:
Morning Lab (9.15 - 12.15)
Learning Lab A: Invoicing: it doesn’t have to be difficult
Invoicing is a time-consuming operation for any type of business or organisation. With the majority of invoices still being sent through the post or as PDFs via email, organisations spend significant time and resource inputing data into financial systems and managing enquiries from suppliers chasing payment. Surely, in this digital age, there has to be a be a better way?
If all invoices are created and managed electronically (and no, that doesn’t mean via PDF) then most of the hassle and administration simply disappears. Join this three-hour learning lab to:
- Hear more about Tradeshift’s survey results from their recent research covering 1000 companies across Europe and the US
- Understand what are barriers of supplier adoption rates
- Examine how the Tradeshift business model differentiates from competitors by providing 100% free e-invoicing to suppliers
- Find out how Tradeshift’s structured, automated approach delivers the highest levels of on-going adoption and participation
